Fragility

Fragile is life
One day we are laughing
The next we are grieving

Morning shines us awake
Darkness comes within hours

Fragile is life
Selfish feuds seem so silly
When today is all we have
Beauty in knowing one another
Accepting, flaws and all

Fragile is life
Today is a gift
Tomorrow a privilege
Please remember me after
Please love me before

Fragile is life
Warmth becoming cold
So sudden, without warning
Cherish and hold dear
Value in one another

**~~**

For fragile lives perish
Gone in an instant
Past cannot be found
When future is here
So hold onto today
Don't wait for tomorrow
As a painting on the wall
The contrast in our lives
Makes for precious art

Love, live, be
Never let the moon rise
Before you've basked in the sunlight
Never let the stars shine
Before you've bathed in the blue sky
Feel the warmth, feel the beauty
That is life

Fragile is life
Take good care
Before it shatters and fades away
